A vertically oriented hazy charcoal drawing on beige paper depicts a woman seated in a poufy dress. She extends her left leg forward, bracing her left arm against it while she leans her head on her right hand, her right elbow resting on her bent right leg. Sparse strokes convey her skirt flaring behind her and up to the shin of her extended left leg. Her face and torso are the most darkly shaded.
